"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This summer I want to hit the gym extremely hard...Other than a job I really have no obligations and I have plenty of time.

I want to hit the gym hard..I'm going to follow the bulking up sticky and some of my coaches advice.

My question has to do with supplements..Since I'm willing to spend a lot of time and money for the next 4 months...my questions is what supplements I should get to go all out..

I just bought creatine, Designer whey protein, and Mass Fuel..

What else should I get? I am definitely going to get some glutamine..Any brand better than others? What about fish oils and stuff like that..

I'm about 6'2", 155 pounds. Really no muscle.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Apples

Apples are sugar.

Supplments during bulking that I like:
Creatine (after workout with Grape juice)
Whey shake (after workout)
ZMA (at night before bedtime)
Fish Oil 6ooo mg a day comprised of 2 1000 mg pills 3x
A good multi Vitamin
FOOD! Eat Big Lots of chicken, fish

Glutamine is mainly used when our cutting and trying to keep muscle, sounds like your bulking to me.

You cant gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, unless your just starting, and that honeymoon will end for newbies too.

Well rather then posting about your supplement regimen which should come last, show us your diet that consists of actual food, not supplements and your training regimen, most coaches don't know jack **** when it comes to training IMO neither do perosnal traininers, the three factors that will contribue of 98% of you gaining muscles are

nutrition
training
rest

**** one of thsoe up and you'll greatly suffer when it comes to your gains, this means getting 9 hours of sleep daily, and don't go party on the weekend if you want to have good gains, because an intruption of sleep pattern destorys your bodies production of growth hormoes, which are released every 90 mins as you sleep, because your body goes trough these 90 min cycles troughout the nite, so yeah supplements arn't necessary honestly, except whey protein and vitamins.

p.s. - yes genetics play a vital role in ones abilty to construct muscle out of nutritents, but one does not have any contorl over their genetics so I did not include it in the list above, I know someone is gonna come in and take stabs at me for not including them.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
